Humans have a habit of viewing the animal kingdom through the prism of our own narrow existence. Zoologist and documentary filmmaker Lucy Cooke is fascinated by the myths people create about animals to fill in the gaps in our understanding, and how much they reveal about the mechanics of discovery and the people doing the discovering. In this book she has gathered together the biggest misconceptions and mistakes made about the animal kingdom, and recounts the experiences that have opened her eyes to many surprising realities about animals and the progress of animal science. 650 0 $a Animals $v Miscellanea. 941 $a 22 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012031205.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201020742.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728020716.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220611010038.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210204023056.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806015049.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110073636.0 952 $l YXPB162 $d 20190521012821.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030629.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20180828013524.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180802011538.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20180801013015.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20180801011206.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20180731025610.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20180731023135.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20180727011032.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20180717040224.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20180630010205.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180602010813.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20180519011832.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20180519011145.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180502010944.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E53CEE8C452E11E89A7FAF0C97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
